I'm going to be worse off. I earn just over the threshold as a student, and income tax will be more for me apparently?

I will be £338 better off, but that doesnt' take into account all the money I will lose on VAT!!!!!!!!

How come that the Tories said that Labours plans for NI were a tax on jobs, yet in the new budget I will be paying £496 a year more in NI

As usual, lying barstewards, the lot of them!!!!

£675 worse off!

Humph!

However that will be more than compensated for by the significantly less corporate tax I will be paying

Looks like I'll be £2.32 better off.

That's nearly enough for an extra pint per year! Happy days

how many times per year do you buy a new 40k car

We'll be 40 quid a year worse off, apparently... not quite sure how this can be described as "the hardest budget for a generation" if that is the case!

I'm quite a bit worse off, but that is to do with the reduction in tax-free allowance more than the budget yesterday.

This is still wrong, its from Alistair Darling's budget in April, road tax at 215 quid is the giveaway (oh and the picture of him on the page!)

Hellooooooo!!!!

If you're interested in the fallout from yesterday's budget it's the wrong ******* budget calculator you are using. The picture gives a big clue as to which budget this relates to....
